The Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize is an annual award of £3,000 for published translations from Arabic of full-length works of imaginative and creative writing of literary merit and general interest.

The prize, administered by the Society of Authors, is open to translations from Arabic to English published between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022, with the Arabic original published any time during or after 1967.
